As far as stopping in November, look at it this way... we gave the Taliban about what, 3 weeks? We should extend the same to any other country, and by then the holy month would be over with.

I'd like to see the bombing stop altogether, as everyone probably knows by now, and other methods used to get bin Laden - but since my wishes don't affect anything...! I know that in WW1 & WW2, the fighting stopped on christmas day between the German and allied forces, but that is not really the same since both armies were of the same basic religion - (did this happen on the Japanese fronts? History a little shaky). That said, then you have to ask yourself: would THEY stop for a christian holy period, such as Lent? I beg to doubt it.

I agree Fljotsdale (Hey,I spelled your name without looking!). I would like to see the bombing stop. I remember Rumsfeld (sp?) saying at the beginning there were very few targets. Makes me wonder what we are hitting now.

I agree with you totally! Well almost, except for that little thing about stopping the responce altogether, but lets save that argument for another time
Sorry I cant help you on the Japanese question, but now I've gotta look it up! Ill let you know if I can dig up anything that would shed a little light in that area.

I've wondered about that myself.

And congrats on the spelling!

TROOPS! We are targeting Taliban and Al Queda troops at the moment. Should be a prelude to an offensive from the Northern Alliance. Though until a legit government is in place, this could drag on for a while.

That is a concern!

Duh (on my part)! Makes sense, I've kinda been avoiding that part of the news lately. Mostly keeping tabs on the home front. Thanx Bullvye!

No prob!......Dont sweat the home front. Alcohol kills Anthrax, so have a beer(I am) and dont sweat the stuff you cant do anything about. ( not that you're worried,..I'm just trying to be funny )
